  • Title: Cellular fatty acid metabolism and cancer.
    Author: Currie E, Schulze A, Zechner R, Walther TC, Farese RV.
    Journal: Cell Metab; 2013 Aug 06; 18(2):153-61. PubMed ID: 23791484.
    Abstract:
    Cancer cells often have characteristic changes in metabolism. Cellular proliferation, a common feature of all cancers, requires fatty acids for synthesis of membranes and signaling molecules. Here, we provide a view of cancer cell metabolism from a lipid perspective, and we summarize evidence that limiting fatty acid availability can control cancer cell proliferation.
